Our dad would send us to our roomHe'd be the voice of doomHe said that we would thank him laterAll day he was solid as a rockBut by eight o'clock we'd be crumbling

One night my brother Joe and meClimbed down the family treeThat grew outside our bedroom windowWe ran though we knew it couldn't lastRunning from the pastFrom things that we were born to be

Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the familyAll the things we areOn the back seat of the carWith Joseph and EmilyWe only see so farAnd we all have our daddy's eyesLooking back it's so bizarre

Dad rang the officer in chargeA man so large he barely fit his circumstancesHe said two kids out on the streetWere picked up on the beat and in the stationSo there's me with Emily and JoeDaddy driving homeAll heading in the same directionHe knew no matter what the breaksWe'd make the same mistakes Couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me

Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the familyAll the things we areOn the backseat of the car with Joseph and EmilyWe only see so farAnd we all have our daddy's eyesLooking back it's so bizarre it runs in the familyAll the things we areLooking back it's so bizarre

Like a dream within a dreamWe're all somewhere in betweenLike a drummer plays his drumLlike a father like a sonAnd your gonna have to face the music, face the music

Hey hey, we keep it running in the familyHey hey, we keep it coming in the family

Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the familyAll the things we areOn the backseat of the car with Joseph and EmilyWe only see so far'Cause we all have our daddy's eyes

Take me back into your armsIt's no longer a mysteryNo cause for alarmCould have never come this farWith no sense of historyIt always leaves a scarAnd we all have our daddy's eyesTomado de AlbumCancionYLetra.comLooking back it's so bizarre running in the familyHey, hey!
